We kicked off our summer of showing this past week with some girl power and plenty of ribbons, memories and lessons! Some highlights:
Mrs Potts and Ella stepped back into the show ring after a short hiatus and showed that they still got it earning a first and second!
Canterella van de Hogeborg Z and Cate stepped back into the jumper ring for the second time ever as a team and showed us how it’s done earning some top ribbons and winning the .65 classic!
Thank you Audrey for the amazing photos and capturing the highlights and funny moments!!
It takes a village and we have one of the best! Shout out to the families and friends coming to support as well as our sponsors that help us and our horses feel confident and ready for anything.

We love watching our young riders reach for their goals! This past weekend, Kara attended a college riding clinic at Auburn University where she was able to learn about their NCEA and IHSA teams, what the competitions are like through doing a mock show, and how to stand out amongst all the other applicants!
